RE: VIROPRO, INC.
As reflected in my letter to the Staff dated May 5, 2000. I resigned as the
principal auditor engaged by the above referenced Registrant on May 5, 2000. The
Registrant has not provided me with it's disclosure in response to Item 304(a)
of Regulation S-K. I recently sought and downloaded from the EDGAR database a
current report on Form 8-K dated May 25, 2000, reporting as Item 4, the change
in auditors.
I have read the statements that were filed by Viropro, Inc. under Item 4 of the
Form 8-K report dated May 25, 2000 regarding the recent change of auditors.
Although I have not been formally requested by the Registrant to comment on the
aforesaid filing, I agree with such statements made regarding my firm, except as
follows:
On May 5, 2000 I informed Viropro, Inc. management that continuing
difficulties in obtaining sufficient competent evidential matter and
non-payment of fees resulted in my decision to terminate the
client-auditor relationship.
I am unaware of any engagement scheduling problems.
I have no basis to agree or disagree with other statements made under Item 4.
Yours truly,
/s/Thomas Klash
